News Sites Trust Us as Their Roofing Expert
Our expertise has been relied on by major news outlets for advice on metal roofing, proper venting and insulation, construction, wildfire protection, home improvement and property ownership.
Why Do Roofing Companies Hire Us?
Roofing companies hire us because we hold the C-43 sheet metal license that most roofers do not, and our C-43 specialist is part of our crew, on the roof, forming each panel on site to an eighth of an inch.
Precision matters because every panel on a roof is a different length. Rooflines run out of square, hips wander and walls are rarely perfectly straight, so a panel cut from a takeoff sheet in a factory has to be forced to fit.
We roll each panel from coil at your home, measure the exact run it covers, and form it to that run. That is the work other roofing contractors bring us in to do, and it is the same crew you get when you hire us directly. See how it works on our on-site roll forming page.
Serving Southern California since 1983. 43 years and over 20,000 roofs.
What Do We Install?
We install standing seam roofs in 22 and 24-gauge steel or .032 and .040 inch aluminum, finished in 70% Kynar 500 PVDF and held down with heavy duty clips, two fasteners each, set 12 inches apart in the field and 9 inches apart at the perimeter.
We never install 26-gauge steel. Aluminum is measured in thousandths of an inch, not gauge, so a quote that lists aluminum by gauge is using the wrong unit.
Kynar 500 holds its color in Southern California sun. The cheaper SMP (silicone modified polyester) finish fades and chalks, which is why we do not use it. Our Kynar vs SMP comparison shows the difference.
The perimeter of a roof takes the strongest wind uplift, so we tighten the clip spacing there.
| Component | Our specification |
|---|---|
| Steel panels | 22 and 24-gauge, never 26 |
| Aluminum panels | .032 and .040 inch, measured in inches, never in gauge |
| Paint finish | 70% Kynar 500 PVDF, never SMP |
| Clips | Heavy duty, two fasteners in every clip |
| Clip spacing in the field | 12 inches |
| Clip spacing at the perimeter | 9 inches |
What Does Our Warranty Cover?
Our 8-year workmanship warranty covers our installation, and we offer it on two brands only: Taylor Metals and Sheffield Metals.
That should tell you something. We put our workmanship warranty behind the metal we stand behind, and nothing else.
The paint finish carries its own manufacturer warranty, separate from our workmanship warranty.
What Licenses Do We Hold?
We hold four California contractor classifications under License 435836: C-39 roofing, C-43 sheet metal, Class B general building and C-10 electrical.
Class B lets us handle the structure and the roof deck, not only the surface. C-10 is full electrical, rather than the solar-only C-46, so electrical work connected to your roof stays with one licensed contractor.
You can look up License 435836 on the Contractors State License Board website at cslb.ca.gov. Our licenses and certifications page covers each classification in detail.
